More than 50 jobs will be created for people in Reigate over the course of the first year, with the majority of these being Deliveroo riders, who aim to deliver food cooked fresh to order and delivered from the restaurant kitchen to the customer's door within 30 minutes.

In September, Deliveroo unveiled its new visual identity, logo and rider equipment that enhances riders’ safety and style through a brightly coloured, hyper-reflective kit, as well as a new logo, which aims to become a shorthand for great food delivered anywhere.

Jeremy Rawlinson, general manager at Deliveroo, said: "We’re extremely excited to be launching in Reigate and we’re looking forward to bringing some of the town’s delicious dishes straight from the hands of local chefs to customers’ doors.

"Our new riders in Reigate are now kitted out in their new hyper-reflective kit and locals can order from the fantastic variety of restaurants in Reigate, whatever they want, whenever they want, all from the comfort of their own home, office desk or wherever else hunger strikes.

"We already have a number of great partners and we are excited to expand and widen the variety of restaurants on offer to our customers in Reigate over the course of the next year."
